Hi Peeps,
 
I was deliberating whether to put this here or in the Coffee House... Decided here might be best, perhaps... Dunno.
 
I've been hankering after putting my music to video, or visa versa, for some time. I looked into finding some stock sci-fi video footage, but there is very little out there, and, unlike us musicians, who appear to be more than happy about giving our music away for free, video produces want big bucks for their creations.
 
I had considered creating a video out of stills, and might still do that yet, but I have been fascinated by fractals for may years now. I'm not sure what it is but I just find that I can stare are fractal images for hours at a time and I am always amazed at what can be done with the various software packages.
 
For this video I finally decided to give Chaotica a go, which is a flame fractal generator which can also create animations.
 
The music I chose (I use the music term loosely here) is also an experimental piece and I have never posted it here for that very reason. I bought Reaktor late last year and this piece features that, and also Adaptiverb.
 
So, here it is, what do you think?
 

 
 
cheers

(it appears I need help with embedding video...)
 
(I think the video didn't show, even though I appeared to have had the correct text, because I must have hit enter after posting the link and the forum software changed it to a hyperlink. I'll remember that for next time...)

I really liked it Andy (the audio and video).....I think fractals are just perfect for your music!! I loved the sounds going through all those filters....noice!!!
Fractals reminds me of the (random) Alchemy preset in the Windows Media Player which syncs to the audio.....my go to setting. Fractals would've been a perfect setting for Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.....or some Floydian trips. 
 
 
To link the youtube video:
 
1) click on "Share" at the Youtube site and copy the link
2) paste the link in your post between [tube]link[/tube]
3) delete the "s" from https
 
 
 

 

Not sure which video is the correct one (your link went to the above video).....I just watched Chaotica (very nice as well on all fronts)
 

 
 
 

Hiya Mesh
 
Thanks for watching!
 
I thought I did all the embedding code okay... I'll have another practise here:-
 

Nice moment of time suspension Andy.

Hi again Mesh, it was the first one you posted. The second one you posted, which I created before the other one, wasn't as good on the graphics front, so I didn't bother shouting about that one. But you've done it for me! Cheers dood
 

Bravo mate!!
Now just goo n a video posting frenzy!!!

Nice moment of time suspension Andy.

Hahaha! Thanks Wookiee!
 
Talking of time suspension... It took a total of seven hours to render the images for that video and then another hour or so to put it all together

Nice work, love the video and unfortunately even with todays computer power fractals take a long time to render. I do find putting music to video helps immensely in the creative process, especially in this genre.

THAT's what I'm talking about - very trippy mate. Video is the way to go for you without a doubt
